Early Adopter Bonus Questions

Do I have to pre-order to get the Race Pack DLC for free?

No, it’s an early adopter bonus. You can buy Total War: WARHAMMER II in the first week after release and still get it for free as well.

Do I have to pre-order or buy in week one to get the Race Pack DLC ?

No, you can also decide to buy it when it releases, or at any time in the future. But it’s only free when purchasing Total War: WARHAMMER II as a pre-order or in the first week of release.

Will reviews be available before release?

Yes, just the same as with Total War: WARHAMMER. We will make sure that both journalists and YouTubers will have the game early enough that they can publish their reviews before launch day.

I’m not going to pre-order without knowing what the DLC is!

That’s ok, we will show it to you very soon, and you will still have plenty of time to get it for free if you like it.

Why do you offer a bonus for Early Adopters?

We obviously want our games to be played by as many people as possible at launch, so it’s useful and very effective for us to reward early adopters. We could promote the game’s launch through advertising in other ways (like buying adverts on websites) but we think that spending marketing on creating content for the game that can then be offered for free is also a good way of promoting it.

Race Pack DLC Questions

What game is the Early Adopter Race Pack DLC for?

The Race Pack DLC is for Total War: WARHAMMER, the first game in the trilogy that’s already released. But, the new Race will also eventually be playable on the extra combined campaign map, which is a whole new, massive campaign available shortly after the release of Total War: WARHAMMER II, and accessible by owners of both games.

What’s in the Race Pack DLC?

We will shortly announce what the Race is, but it will be a completely reworked faction for the Old World complete with new units including some unique new monsters, 2 new Legendary Lords each with unique skills trees, quest chains and unique starting positions.

When does it come out?

That has yet to be announced, but the DLC will be playable before the release of Total War: WARHAMMER II.

Do I need to pre-order to get it?

No, you will be able to purchase the DLC on its own if you do not wish to pre-order or buy Total War: WARHAMMER II in the first week.

Will it come with Free-LC?

Yes. All owners of Total War: WARHAMMER, regardless of whether they own the DLC, will have that race appear/update in the game and will be given new challenges to deal with in their campaigns. We are also releasing Free-LC alongside the new Race as well, stay tuned for more info shortly.
